Ruby on Rails 2.0 Tutorials

Below are some great tutorials for learning Ruby on Rails 2.0. When I first dove into rails I a few months ago I noticed that the more common tutorials that where out at the time were written for rails 1.23 or something like that. And if you follow the tutorials line by line your application wont turn out the way its suppose to. So below are some great tutorials for learning Ruby on Rails 2.0, enjoy.

• Learning Rails Podcats. Amazing tutorials I highley recommend starting with this one

• How To Create a Rails Blog in 15 steps – I used this tutorial to build the base for this blog

• Ruby on Rails 2.1 Tutorial – Very detailed tutorial on how to get up and running with rails 2.1 and explains how the framework actually works.

• Authentication System with all the bells and whistles – Every site now needs a authentication system to either manage users, protect admin areas or both. This is great rails tutorials using Restful Authentication plugin.

The tutorials above I have done myself personally and I feel they have really helped me rap my head around the framework and the ruby language itself. Below are some more Ruby on Rails 2.0 tutorials however I haven’t actually done any of them, just briefly viewed over them. Feel free to check them out and comment on them below.
